Easy way to find un-parented stories

I had been adding a lot of stories these days to a VSTS project. Some of them have parent Features. Is there a way to list all stories with their parents and thus find out which all are unparented.

Right now, I have to open each story and find it out myself on whether its parented or not.

Solution

  • You could use work item query to achieve this. There is a filter work items and direct links

    For your situation, you need to select Only return items that do not have matching links with parent link types, detail query please refer below screenshot:
